Still the only problem is books. If there not marked accessible. Then you still can't reed them. Just like on the real thing.

While you can't download the accessible version of kindle reading software from all geographical areas, I have gotten hold of it, and while have only ever bought one specific kindle book, the accessible reader is quite nice, since it does run quite happily with my registration details from amazon, and all you really need to do is use space bar to activate menus, and use Ctrl + I keystroke for being told navigation commands, and it uses relatively decent nuance synthesizers - both a male and a femal voice.

Stay well

Hi,

I hope this link works. If not, tell me.



This article says that you can now get free, accessible Kindle software and read Kindle content from Amazon on your computer. If that's true, all of a sudden, a lot of hard-to-get books are mine. I'd be glad to pay print book prices to get books that can't be gotten elsewhere.
